Flying Against the Arrow: An Intellectual in Ceausescu's Romania

by Horia-Roman Patapievici

Book Overview

The 'unbearable 80s', as the last decade of the Ceauşescu era has been called in Romania, are in the focus of this quasi-autobiographical work. The book vividly portrays the difficulties encountered by a young intellectual trying to shape himself under the oppressive regime and provides a stark depiction of a man's intellectual suffocation under hard-line socialist rule.
